A metabolic network is the complete set of metabolic and physical processes that determine the physiology physiological and biochemistry biochemical properties of a cell. As such, these networks comprise the chemical reactions of metabolism as well as the regulatory interactions that guide these reactions. With the sequencing of complete genomes, it is now possible to reconstruct the network of biochemical reactions in many organisms, from bacteria to human. Several of these networks are available online Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes KEGG http www.genome.ad.jp , EcoCyc http www.ecocyc.org , BioCyc http biocyc.org and metaTIGER http www.bioinformatics.leeds.ac.uk metatiger .

Metabolic intermediates refers to molecules which are the precursors or metabolites of biologically significant molecules. Although these intermediates are of relatively minor direct importance to cellular function, they can play important roles in the allosteric regulation of enzyme s. Clinical significance Some can be useful in measuring rates of metabolic processes for example, 3,4 dihydroxyphenylacetic acid or 3 aminoisobutyrate . Because they can represent unnatural points of entry into natural metabolic pathways, some such as AICA ribonucleotide are of interest to researchers in developing new therapies.

unreferenced date March 2011 Metabolic Age refers to a number calculated by comparing your Basal Metabolic Rate to the Basal Metabolic Rate average of your chronological age group. Chronological age is your age in calendar years. Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy consumed per unit of time when all environmental factors are considered neutral, the digestive system is in a post absorptive state meaning that the digestive system is inactive, which requires about twelve hours of fasting in humans , and the energy expenditure is only sufficient to support normal functioning of the vital organs, the heart, lungs, nervous system, kidneys, liver, intestine, sex organs, muscles, and skin. Formulas for calculating basal metabolic rate take into account age, weight, height, activity level, body fat mass, and lean body mass. All the components in the body require various levels of energy to be maintained. Body fat requires much less energy than lean muscle, as lean muscle is much more metabolically active. Muscle is much more metabolically active, and therefore requires more energy expenditure to remain in homeostasis. If comparing two individuals, with all variables being equal, the person with more lean muscle mass will have a higher basal metabolic rate, and therefore, a lower metabolic age in comparison to those with the identical chronological age. An individual s metabolic age will vary depending depending how their calculated basal metabolic rate compares to others of the same chronological age. Metabolic age is a new term used in the health and fitness industry to describe overall fitness and metabolic activity. Examining metabolic age will give insights to the overall level of health and wellness in comparison to those of the same age. Improving personal fitness is a main concern of most health conscious individuals. BMR and the metabolic age number are excellent ways to track your progress. uncategorized date March 2011 ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 Context date October 2009 The metabolic rift is a term developed by John Bellamy Foster to signify the socio ecological contradictions of the town country division of labor in the capitalist era. Although Karl Marx never used the term metabolic rift, he did write of an irreparable rift in the interdependent process of social metabolism created by the rise of capitalism. ref Marx, Karl. 1981. Capital , Vol. III. New York Penguin, p. 949. ref Marx s understanding of social metabolism allowed him to develop a systematic critique of capitalist exploitation in the sense of robbery, i.e., failing to maintain the means of reproduction of the soil. Fertility, Marx argued, is not a natural quality as previously thought, but rather bound up with the social relations of the time, characterized by the rise of what he calls large scale industry, which required factories, workers, dense urban centers, and large amounts of food. The main metabolic rift Marx saw was in the nutrient cycle, in that nutrients that were previously being recycled into the soil were not longer able to be recycled, because the products were being transported away to somewhere else. Before the Industrial Revolution, in small scale farms, farmers would use cow manure or local seaweed to fertilize the soil with the Industrial Revolution, the nutrients and their products were being transported in from larger distances, creating the potential for a greater rift. Therefore, Marx argues that capitalist ...

This includes nitrogen compounds, water , Carbon dioxide CO sub 2 sub , phosphate s, sulfate s, insole s, medical s, food additive s etc. Animal s treat these compounds as excretes. Plant s have Chemistry chemical machinery which transforms some of them primarily the nitrogen compounds into useful substances, and it has been shown by Brian J. Ford that abscissa leaves also carry wastes away from the parent plant. In this way, Ford argues that the shed leaf acts as an excretory organ carrying away excretory products . All the metabolic wastes are excreted in a form of water solution solutes through the excretory Organ anatomy organs nephridia , Malpighian tubule s, kidney s , with the exception of CO sub 2 sub , which is excreted together with the water vapor throughout the lung s.

The transsulfuration pathway is a metabolicpathway involving the interconversion of cysteine and homocysteine , through the intermediate cystathionine . In eukarotes, such as humans, the transsulfuration pathway is critical for creating cysteine from the essential amino acid methionine. Methionine is first converted to homocysteine by demethylation, which is then converted to the amino acid cysteine via the transsulfuration pathway. While methionine is considered an essential amino acid, cysteine becomes an essential amino acid when the transsulfuration pathway is defective. In organisms that synthesize cysteine in sulfur assimilation such as bacteria and yeast, the transsulfuration pathway works in reverse. The production of homocysteine through transsulfuration allows the conversion of this intermediate to methionine , through a methylation reaction carried out by 5 Methyltetrahydrofolate homocysteine methyltransferase methionine synthase . biochemistry stub Category Nitrogen metabolism Category Sulfur metabolism Category Metabolic pathways ... more details
